SECOND FEATURE:

Queens of the Central Coast: S.B.’s Drag Scene

by Ricky Barajas

Photographer Matt Perko had the pleasure of shooting Charles Lloyd for our cover story this week. We asked him a couple of questions about that experience and his own musical talents.

You photographed Charles Lloyd for this week’s cover story. What was that experience like? It was an incredible experience just to meet Charles, let alone photograph him. As a lifelong jazz musician, I hold him in the highest regard. We quickly connected over our shared love of music, art, and spirituality; and after I showed him a few images on the back of my camera, he said,

“You are the director. Tell me what to do!” From that point, the nerves disappeared and it was a joyous collaboration.

When you are not photographing professional musicians, you yourself play the drums professionally. Tell us a little bit about that. Are you playing anywhere in town soon? I’ve been playing the drums since I was 3, and I started gigging at 14. That was many years ago now, and I feel very fortunate to be able to play music to this day. I’ll be leading an exciting jazz quartet at Revolver Pizza on Thursday, March 16, at 7 p.m. I’d love to see you there!

‘The Friendliest Goddamn Town’

Councilmember Defends Solvang’s

by Tyler Hayden

Robert Clarke was having none of it. As the Solvang city councilmember prepared to reject an application to hang banners and paint downtown crosswalks in celebration of Pride Month, he took great umbrage at the concern voiced by project supporters that the community he leads is not as tolerant as it claims to be.

“When people want to disparage anything about this damn town, I take offense to it,” said Clarke, a 17-year resident of the city, his voice rising. “From living in New York, from living in San Francisco, from living in Chicago, this is the friendliest goddamn town I’ve ever been in. People here are welcoming; they’re warm; they embrace everybody.” Clarke then proceeded with two of his colleagues to vote down the application, calling the Pride-themed proposal “political” and divisive.

The application had been submitted by The Rainbow House Inc., a nonprofit resource center on Copenhagen Drive for LGBTQIA+ residents. “Visibility, equality, equity, and inclusion is something that we often hear but unfortunately is something that doesn’t tend to include the LGBTQIA+ community,” said its founder, Kiel Cavalli, who also owns the ONEder Child toy store next door. “Your approval of these banners and crosswalks would send a message to our local community, the queer community, and beyond that the City of Solvang hears us, sees us, and supports us.”

Speaking after Cavalli was project critic Jesse Condit Bengoa, a fifth-generation resident whose grandfather served as mayor. Her father sat on the planning commission. Bengoa said Solvang shouldn’t promote an “ideology” that could alienate visitors. “First it was a Pride parade through downtown Solvang this past June, then the drag show idea in December,” she said. “Next it was the Valentine’s Day social media post featuring a gay couple, and now rainbow sidewalks.” The city, she said, ought to reject this “woke campaign,” main-

County out of Drought

It’s been a weird year for weather and water in Santa Barbara County, especially for the regions that were recently dusted with snow. But it’s only become more unbelievable: Data released by the U.S. Drought Monitor last Thursday indicates that all populated areas of the county are now out of the drought.

The county’s metaphorical water glass was already looking half full, having experienced the eighth wettest January on record in the past 129 years, and the eighth wettest year to date, according to the National Integrated Drought Information System. Statewide, California’s snowpack is reaching record-breaking levels, and precipitation this year has been

tain its Danish heritage, and “stay true to who and what we are.”

David Silva, who sits on Solvang Theaterfest’s board of directors, spoke alongside his husband, Jason Stone, a health advocate at UCSB. Silva reminded the council that the city’s Danish history is rooted in a country that has led the way on LGBTQIA+ rights.

“Legalizing gay marriage faster than most of the world, making trans rights faster than most of the world that is Danish heritage,” he said.

Silva told the council he didn’t appreciate his existence as a gay man being described as “political,” and he rejected the notion that Solvang is utterly devoid of prejudice.

“I have been called a fag in this community more times in the last two years than I can count, and it’s uncomfortable to be told that homophobia doesn’t exist in this area,” he said. Another speaker referenced the recent theft and burning of a pride flag from an area church.

Mayor Mark Infanti and Councilmember David Brown voted with Clarke against the proposal, but on the grounds the banners and crosswalks would unfairly support a single business the toy store and not benefit the city as a whole. City policy, they explained, prohibits banners for private financial gain.

Councilmember Claudia Orona questioned their rationale, noting how Solvang invests heavily in promoting Christmas while a handful of shops sell Christmas decor. “Nobody’s arguing that that is favoring one business over another,” she said. Orona voted in favor of the banners but against the crosswalks, expressing concern the colors would spook horses pulling the town’s distinctive trolleys. Councilmember Elizabeth Orona (no relation) voted the same way. “I want to ensure the gay community feels seen, recognized, safe, and important and welcomed,” she said.

In his closing statements, Clarke said he just couldn’t wrap his head around the idea the banners would make Solvang’s LGBTQIA+ residents feel any better about themselves. “I just don’t get that,” he said. He also seemed to want to punish Cavalli and his toy store for organizing a drag queen story and tea time that was ultimately canceled because of scheduling and budget considerations.

Clarke claimed it was in fact successful “heat from the GOP” that killed the event. “I don’t know what it is about men dressing as women and twerking in front of small children that is inclusive,” he said. “I’ll be called a bigot tomorrow,” he predicted. “I’ve been called a bigot before. I don’t care.” n

Pauline (pictured), the Santa Barbara Zoo’s 2-year-old African lioness, was moved to Idaho’s Zoo Boise over the weekend, the zoo announced last week. Born at the Santa Barbara Zoo in November 2020, Pauline was transferred because she’s now “mature enough to contribute to a pride of her very own,” the zoo stated. Pauline’s mother and father, Felicia and Ralph, will remain in town “for the foreseeable future.” In a follow-up statement, the zoo explained that, based on the success of “separation training” over the past year, it’s expected “Pauline as well as her parents will adjust to her move quickly and without excessive stress.”

Free speech and self-expression are the topics Charlie Kirk founder of the right-wing organization Turning Point U.S.A. came to UCSB to speak about on 3/1. What he encountered, however, was a backlash from the student community for Kirk’s notorious anti-LGBTQ, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic statements. More than a hundred protesters gathered outside the lecture hall before and during the speech, and conflicts arose as the two sides shouted at each other across police-erected barricades. Katya Armistead, assistant vice chancellor and dean of student life, said that although Kirk didn’t represent the campus or its values, his appearance was a form of the free expression protected under the Constitution.

PUBLIC SAFETY

at 135 percent of the state’s historical average.

All of Santa Barbara’s reservoirs Gibraltar, Cachuma, Jameson, and Twitchell are full and spilling or close to it. Only 8.44 percent of the county in the northeast Cuyama area is still considered to be “abnormally dry,” the lowest-intensity drought category. Just a couple of weeks ago, effectively 100 percent of the county was in that category.

In January, Santa Barbara water officials were calling the statewide drought “far from over,” which still holds true considering the state’s counties that remain in severe drought conditions. Santa Barbara may seem to be in the clear for now, but officials warn that

conditions could swing from wet to dry very quickly. Lael Wageneck of County Flood Control emphasized, too, that “drought declarations are focused on broad-scale climatic conditions rather than local water supplies.

Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner passenger train collided with a woodchipper just south of El Capitan State Beach on 3/3, closing the rail corridor through Santa Barbara for about two hours. The crash happened at 10:41 a.m. when the driver of the truck pulling the woodchipper was apparently caught unawares, S.B. County Fire spokesperson Captain Scott Safechuck said. The driver insisted he was fine and refused medical treatment for minor injuries. Likewise, no one was injured among the train passengers. The cause of the incident is under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.

“While this season has been good for our reservoirs, groundwater basins take several years of above-average rainfall to recharge and fill back up,” Wageneck said. “Cachuma spilled in 2011, but in 2016, lake capacity was down to 7 percent. Even with this season’s rain, Cachuma could return to single-digit capacity in five years. This is why water conservation is a way of life in Santa Barbara County.”

On 3/2, a 9-1-1 call reported an ongoing assault in downtown Santa Barbara that turned out to be a case of a Good Samaritan attempting to revive a person lying on the ground. When Santa Barbara police officers arrived around 5 p.m. to the scene on the 900 block of Chapala Street, they found an individual attempting CPR for a man, who was not responding. City Fire as well as AMR paramedics on scene performed CPR for about 30 minutes before the man was declared dead. The incident is being investigated, and there is no clear cause of death. The man’s name is being withheld until his nearest relative is notified.

HOPE Fund ‘Too Complex’ for Council

Advocates, Councilmembers Push for Simpler Fund to Build DeedRestricted Affordable Housing

by Ryan P. Cruz

Before the Santa Barbara City Council could discuss the creation of a $3 million fund specifically aimed at addressing the growing housing crisis on Tuesday, Mayor Randy Rowse suggested that, “because of the variety of opinions” and “how completely complex” the issue was, that it was not ready for the council to fully deliberate and should be sent to the Ordinance Committee for a deeper dive.

Rather than wade into the murky discussions over housing which has become issue number one in Santa Barbara Rowse suggested that the council hear the staff’s report on the Housing Opportunities, Preservation, and Equity (HOPE) Fund, listen to the public comments, and skip on giving their own comments to allow the “more nimble” committee to do the heavy lifting.

“Otherwise, our fear is that we would have a very long, very circular discussion and end up going to ordinance anyway,” he said, “because there are just way too many options to consider at one time.”

The staff’s plan to distribute the funds was too complicated, according to some councilmembers and several members of the public including representatives from the city’s Housing Authority, Santa Barbara Tenants Union, Santa Barbara Community Action Network, and the League of Women Voters Santa Barbara and it may not efficiently address the city’s housing needs right now.

When council established the fund in 2022, the idea was to have a dedicated funding source with $2.88 million allocated toward affordable housing and housingrelated programs, and another $250,000 toward a “right to counsel” program to assist tenants fighting evictions in court. The version presented on Tuesday had both of these but differed in the way funds were distributed and allocated.

According to the staff report, the fund would provide households with assistance “to obtain or retain housing through approved providers” for residents making up to 200 percent of the area median income, which is considered “upper-middle income.”

For many of the advocates who spoke, the funds should be used specifically to build affordable, deed-restricted housing for the city’s lowest-income populations, instead of toward projects that would turn into housing for the city’s middle and upper-middle classes.

“We don’t think that the funds should be available to for-profit developers, unless they agree to keep the units deed-restricted affordable for 90 years,” said Stanley Tzankov, cofounder of the Santa Barbara Tenants Union.

Tzankov said that he believes that the fund promises to be a “landmark program

to create a stable source of funding to finance affordable housing,” but that it needs to go to “low-, very-low-, and moderate-income” residents.

Skip Szymanski, deputy director of the Housing Authority, doubled down on a letter from the organization disagreeing with the staff recommendation.

“Our position is very clear,” he said. “This is an opportunity to actually build and purchase affordable housing.”

He suggested that instead of a convoluted separate housing fund, with its own administrative and staff costs, that the city lean on its existing programs and use the funds to allow them to build and fund projects as soon as possible.

“If the city had this money available today, I could do a deal,” Szymanski said, “and I could be bringing that project to you.”

Despite Rowse’s suggestion, a few councilmembers felt it was necessary to speak on the subject and gave brief comments before moving the issue to the Ordinance Committee.

Councilmembers Kristen Sneddon and Meagan Harmon both supported the fund going toward production of “capital-A” affordable housing projects with a deedrestricted 90-year guaranteed affordability period.

“This fund is really about the production of housing; it always has been,” Harmon said.

Councilmember Eric Friedman suggested that staff work with the Housing Authority to explore a one-time allocation so that the city doesn’t lose out on a project before the fund is officially created, but agreed that the issue deserved a deeper discussion.

“This is the critical issue that we’re facing, and this is a tool we need to get right,” Friedman said. “And if we had gone forward tonight, there’s a chance that we might not have got it right.”

The council unanimously agreed to take the issue to the Ordinance Committee at a later date. n

CARPINTERIA

Battle Brews over Bailard Housing Project

Aproposed 173-unit mixed-income multifamily housing development on Bailard Avenue is receiving backlash from Carpinteria residents and city leadership who feel left out in the planning process, which is a collaboration between the county Housing Authority and private developer Red Tail LLC. Red Tail’s applicant, Brent Little, brought the project to the County Planning Commission last week for an early concept review, which served as an opportunity for dozens to sound off during a lengthy public comment session.

The Bailard Avenue Housing Project sits on two parcels just outside Carpinteria city limits, surrounded by a residential neighborhood to the south and Monte Vista Park to the east. Owned by Carpinteria Unified School District, the property is currently used in part to farm organic crops, but Red Tail is under contract to purchase the land from the district for the housing development, Little said.

The concept design by RRM Design Group includes plans for seven buildings spread across 6.9 acres, with 132 marketrate and 41 lower-income affordable units. The county Housing Authority would oversee the lower-income units, including

But local enviros demanded a new environmental impact report, pointing out that if the county were to approve the new safety valves, it would surrender any further opportunity to comment on the impacts of reactivating the existing pipeline or imposing any new conditions upon it. In response, the commissioners directed county energy planners to come back on 4/26 with more information about requiring an environmental impact report.

some for homeless individuals. The project would feature a 5,000-square-foot “community center,” along with walking paths, an orchard, barbecue area, dog park, and open courtyard.

Carpinteria City Councilmember Wade Nomura, who was serving as the city’s mayor when the council expressed support for working on a county Housing Authority collaboration for the site in 2019, spoke in opposition of the project during public comment, explaining that he felt the city has since been left out of the planning process.

“We assumed the county was taking the lead on this but now it looks like the Red Tail corporation has actually been doing this,” said Nomura, who also addressed concerns over density and other issues echoed in a letter from the City Council urging the Housing Authority to “abandon the project concept.” A community group, Save Bailard Farm, has collected more than 2,500 signatures opposing the project.

The commission took no action, as the project is still in its concept phase and will not be heard again until the developers complete the application process.

HOUSING

With a few nips and tucks to the agreement, the Heritage Ridge housing development was approved unanimously by the Goleta City Council on 3/7. On the books for housing since the 1980s, when the late Michael Towbes bought the property, Heritage Ridge will hold 104 low-income homes for seniors and families, and 228 market-rate units. A park designed with Chumash tribes will take up two acres in the center of the 17.36-acre property at the southeast corner of Los Carneros Road and Highway 101.

What’s with All the Fallen Trees in S.B.?

In recent weeks, severe weather has caused a wave of downed and damaged trees in the Santa Barbara area, with one downed eucalyptus closing one side of the 101 freeway for several hours on March 1 while emergency crews cleared the debris, among several other reports of trees damaging houses and utilities across the city. According to Nathan Slack, the city’s urban forest superintendent, there have been at least 40 downed trees reported since the beginning of the year, although the Parks & Recreation Department only keeps track of city-owned trees or trees that fall in the public right of way, so the actual number of fallen trees may be higher.

“This is higher than in past years, but we haven’t had many storms in previous years, so it’s not a perfect comparison,” Slack said.

About half of the fallen trees this year have been on undeveloped parkland, where trees do not receive the same level of maintenance as street trees, he said, though each storm system and fallen tree tell a different story based on where they are located. In some areas, where a fallen tree has roots intact and the trunk and branches don’t pose a risk to public safety or access, the city will opt to leave it as it is to let it “continue to provide

the benefits trees are known for, like carbon sequestration and stormwater management,” Slack said. “This has been the case with some oak trees at Oak Park and Mission Historical Park that fell during January’s storms.”

The heavy rains and high winds took down several species of trees in Santa Barbara this year, such as coast live oak, Monterey cypress, or, most commonly, blue gum eucalyptus. While eucalyptus in the area can grow especially large both in height and canopy spread, Slack said that “large trees are not inherently problematic but are subject to different loads than smaller trees during storms.” Their roots typically rely on friction to hold up the tree, but with heavy rain, the soil can become saturated, and “combined with high winds,” he said, “this can lead to tree failure, regardless of species.”

CA Counties Weigh In on Hot Springs Parking

The 58 counties of California filed a brief with the courts in the case brought by homeowners on East Mountain Drive against the County of Santa Barbara over landscaping in the public right of way. The California State Association of Counties sided with the county, advising the Court of Appeal that abatement of “a nuisance and a crime” was in the public interest and that preventing the county from acting due to a preliminary injunction placed the court “in the position of giving such petitioners authority to continue violating the law.”

The somewhat tangled case began in 2021 when the county held meetings and sent letters to several homeowners saying they must remove their landscaping alongside the road rooted in the public right of way or the county would remove it for them. The parcels are near the Hot Springs trailhead, a trail that became wildly popular during the pandemic and which has limited legal parking. In clearing the right of way, the county was attempting to add more and put the parking off the roadway.

The homeowners argued their landscaping had existed for years, some had won awards, and one actually had permits and mature oak trees. Their attorney, David

Cousineau of the firm Cappello & Noël of Santa Barbara, filed for a CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) review, stating the roadside plantings had become habitat and some were near riparian areas. The Superior Court granted a preliminary injunction that prevented the county from removing the plants and boulders in the right of way until a trial was held.

“The Association’s brief ignores what is happening,” Cousineau wrote in an email.

“The county wants to rip out almost a mile of landscaping in a way that creates environmental and fire-safety issues. CEQA requires the county to consider the environmental impacts of actions like these, even if couched as ‘enforcement.’ Ignoring these major issues is why the Association’s brief will not help the county.”

Major Toxic Contamination at Santa Maria Airport?

County, Santa Maria, and Airport Lawyer Up Ahead of Potential Legal Showdown with State Water Regulators

by Nick Welsh

Santa

Barbara

County supervisors were urged on Tuesday to join with the Santa Maria Airport Board and the City of Santa Maria in demanding a delay of an anticipated enforcement action in which all three entities would be named to clean up contaminants that have been lurking in the subsurface soil of the Santa Maria Airport for at least the past 42 years. To prevent such an order from being filed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the airport has retained the services of political consultant Thomas Widroe and the legal services of Barry Groveman, a legal specialist in the highstakes field of groundwater contamination, to seek a “pause” from regulators with the state water board. The County of Santa Barbara and the City of Santa Maria have retained independent legal counsel as well for what could become a protracted, financially bruising legal showdown.

To date, it remains unknown how big an area was contaminated by the toxic compounds, when that happened, what compounds were released, by whom, how far the toxic plume has migrated since it was first brought to the attention of state regulators 42 years ago, and how much it might reasonably cost to clean it all up. The environmental threat was deemed serious enough, however, that one of Santa Maria’s drinkingwater wells located adjacent to the airport property was shut down in 1985. Other wells might be vulnerable as well.

Many county supervisors are inclined to speak softly rather than swing a big stick “de-escalation” being the key buzzword when dealing with the state water regulators, in hopes of quietly persuading them to hold off on issuing any cleanup and abatement orders. By contrast, Widroe and Groveman have been far sharper in their questions, wondering out loud why the state water board has not also named the Department of Defense which operated a military airport on the site from 1942 to 1946 or heirs of the Semco Tool and Manufacturing company, which owned the site for several decades after 1946.

Groveman noted that the Department of Defense was allowed to remove more than 200 underground storage tanks from the site with little to no regulatory oversight by the state water board. It’s an established fact, Groveman asserted, that all underground storage tanks leak. “One hundred percent,” he said.

Groveman repeatedly termed the state board’s remediation efforts over the 42

years it’s known about the problem as “anemic.” A spokesperson for the water board took exception with that characterization, pointing out that seven enforcement-related orders were issued for the site between 2015 and 2019.

While the three public entities looking at a possible enforcement order may differ on how best to approach the state water board, they all agree that the state board needs to slow things down, conduct a meaningful study as to the exact scope and intensity of the contamination, and look to the Department of Defense which has deep pockets for toxic cleanup endeavors to cover the costs. Neither the airport nor the City of Santa Maria has the financial wherewithal for a major remediation effort, Widroe told the supervisors. But the governor, he said, controls a significant cleanup and abatement fund.

Water board records indicate that prior efforts to squeeze the heirs of Semco proved futile even though the tool and dye company reportedly used many of the toxic chemicals identified on the seven-acre site. Attorneys for Semco at the time argued that degradation of the chemicals indicated the contamination occurred many years into the past, suggesting that the military airport was the true culprit.

The key chemical compound of concern is TCE, or trichloroethylene. It is linked with kidney cancer, cardiac defects, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In the late 1980s, Semco installed a carbon filtration system to help purify the water, but the system became saturated after a week and had to be shut down. Semco lacked the requisite financial stability to pursue the cleanup and was deemed out of compliance.

If and when an abatement order is issued, Widroe warned, all the involved parties will dig in their heels for a protracted legal battle. Millions will be spent on attorneys, he predicted, but none on cleaning up the site. n

No Saints or Zealots Need Apply

Tracy Kidder Riffs On Doctor to Homeless Who Finds Joy Pushing the Boulder Forever Uphill

by Nick Welsh

Let’s face it: Saints are boring. By any reckoning, Tracy Kidder just wrote another book Rough Sleepers about a modern-day saint. Yet it’s anything but boring. That’s the art of Tracy Kidder, who for the past 45 years has reigned as one of America’s genuine masters of deep-dive nonfiction. His work has been called “literary journalism.” You can see why. Describing a homeless man on his way down and a pivotal character in Rough Sleepers Kidder wrote, “Now he smelled of hangover, of a good time turned sour, moist, overripe.”

This man, whom Kidder called Tony Columbo, was charismatic, charming, and tragically gallant. And a rough sleeper, a turn of phrase that Kidder borrowed from 19thcentury England. Kidder uses it to describe people who prefer the savage challenges of the streets to the dubious comfort of Boston’s homeless shelters. For Kidder’s readers, Tony’s great company. Big and muscular, he protected homeless women from predators. They called him the Night Watchman.

Tony, it turned out, was sexually abused as a boy by a priest. And beaten. Later, Tony would spend 18 years locked up behind bars for trying to rape a teenage boy.

Naturally, it doesn’t end well.

As we learn, Tony wasn’t any saint. In Kidder’s telling, that role is reserved — though with reservations — for Dr. Jim O’Connell, a deceptively brilliant, Harvard-educated doctor who got talked into starting Boston’s first medical program for homeless people back in 1985. At the time, O’Connell then finishing his residency planned to be an oncologist; the homeless gig, he figured, would just be for one year.

Now, nearly 40 years later, O’Connell’s hair has turned a silver white, blowing, as Kidder writes, “like a bit of cirrus in the wind.” He’s still practicing medicine at what has become Boston’s flagship health care program for homeless people. In that time, the program grew from a crew of eight to 400, from a budget of $450,000 to $7.8 million. In the first year, the program served 1,200 patients. Most recently, it exceeded 11,000.

To make all this happen, O’Connell regularly works 110 hours a week. His first two marriages, not surprisingly, went up in smoke. Unlike many who tend to homeless people, O’Connell was not infused by any faith or religious conviction he is a saint with no god.

Naturally, Tony Columbo and Jim O’Connell crossed paths, becoming friends, comrades, co-conspirators. In a way, family. Tony, it turned out, had a creative eye for administrative improvements. As Kidder noted, Tony discovered a new sense of purpose. O’Connell was smart enough to accept what Tony offered.

He was also self-effacing and smart enough to listen to the nurses who initially took a decidedly dim view of him, assuming he wouldn’t stick around long. One nurse, Barbara McInnis, instructed O’Connell to wash the feet of his patients and only that for the first two months. This was no Catholic act of self-abnegation. Diagnostically, the condition of a patient’s foot spoke volumes. O’Connell did as he was told.

Like O’Connell, Kidder is laid back and understated, but also irrepressibly enthusiastic. Like O’Connell, he is not a crusader. “I like characters,” Kidder declared in a recent interview. “I never set out to do a good deed or write about homelessness.” Like O’Connell, Kidder got sucked into the

project almost by accident while working on another book about a really rich guy who told him he needed to meet Jim O’Connell. A couple of van rides into the night during which Kidder watched O’Connell dispense hot chocolate, sandwiches, blankets, socks, and medical treatment to people sleeping on the streets and Kidder was hooked. He described the experience as being both “scary and fun.”

What made it fun, Kidder said, was the palpable warmth between O’Connell and his street clients. What made it scary was how utterly ignorant Kidder discovered he was how he’d mastered the art of Not Seeing this huge alternate reality in his own hometown. At that time, Kidder, in his late seventies, had grown weary of all the ambient “cruelty and chaos and stupidity.” In Jim O’Connell and nurses like Barbara McInnis he found a much-needed antidote. “It’s really nice to know there are people out there like Jim and Barbara doing their best to make things better.”

Kidder has a keen ear for conversational exchanges. He keeps them brief. He does not consider himself an expert on homelessness, other than that he thinks new terms such as “the unhoused” or “those experiencing homelessness” don’t do justice to the lethal violence confronting people who live and die in large numbers on the streets.

But for all his breezy understatement, Kidder knows outrage. No matter how much they work, people like O’Connell and McInnis and Tony can’t keep pace with the new arrivals. “Is our society becoming more and more feral?” he asked. “I’m worried in a way I never was before. I’m worried about this country,” he answers. “We have a system that relies on the production of human detritus.”

Kidder doesn’t buy the popular theory that then-governor Ronald Reagan created the homeless crisis in the 1970s by shutting down California’s mental institutions. “That’s bullshit,” Kidder said. The real homeless crisis started 10 years later, fed by any number of causes: the recession, AIDS, the crack epidemic, traumatized Vietnam War veterans, gentrification, and the elimination of single-room occupancy hotels. And yes, of course, the lack of mental health treatment. The mental health institutions, however flawed, he said, were built with the best of intentions. “When the

system began to falter, we did what we always do; we tore it all down and replaced it with nothing.”

For O’Connell and Kidder, one of the biggest causes of homelessness is child abuse. A psychiatrist who worked with O’Connell estimated that 75 percent of the patients were seriously abused as children. “The stories I heard were just sickening,” Kidder said.

When O’Connell contemplated big-picture fixes, Nurse McInnis discouraged him. “We don’t need to be saints or zealots,” she would say. “Just flawed people doing their jobs.” Or she would ask, “Who are you? God? Your job is to take care of that broke foot.”

For Kidder, the secret to O’Connell’s stamina is hardly a mystery. He served people who desperately needed help and were grateful for what they got. And O’Connell could practice medicine the way he thought it should be practiced. You could take your time with patients. You could not limit yourself to the 10-minute increments that medical beancounters insisted upon.

O’Connell didn’t see himself as a saint so much as a Sisyphus, forever pushing the rock up the hill. The O’Connell Kidder saw got irritated though on rare occasion and not for long and gave himself permission not to like all his clients. But when Tony died from a drug overdose, O’Connell began to worry that he too wouldn’t last much longer. “If you step back, it’s really depressing. But there’s some kind of joy I feel from doing it day to day,” he said. “And that worries me.”

To hear more, Kidder will be speaking with Pico Iyer this Tuesday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m., at the New Vic (33 W. Victoria St.). For more info, see artsandlectures.ucsb.edu. n

I Sing the Burger Eclectic

It’s a Medium-Rare occasion that I’ve ever Mustard the energy to get off my Buns to Ketchup and Meat with old friends over some unique burgers. Well done! I know it’s hard to swallow, but your guide inspired me to create my own signature burger at home. I’m calling it the Pun Burger. It’s full of it and a real Whopper.

O, Give Me a Home

It’s just pathetic and infuriating to read the whining from local housing and elected officials about having to meet the city and county’s housing obligations. Our housing crisis has been in the making for decades because of local intransigence and flat-out resistance to new housing. Meanwhile, as a result, thousands of unsheltered people here and across California are suffering in our streets and on our sidewalks. And in a state where high housing costs are a primary driver of our nation-leading poverty rate, many more among our most economically vulnerable are paying up to 60 percent of their income on housing and struggling to keep a roof over their heads.

of my four children can afford to live in this area. I worked two jobs all my working life to afford to live in Santa Barbara. But it is Santa Barbara and Goleta, and that’s why we live here! It is the most expensive place to live!

If we approve all this new housing, I fear the place I love so much will be ruined, and once it is built, it will never go away. Please send a letter to your supervisor to oppose all of the new developments. I have not even touched on other issues to oppose (water, roads, parking, parks, shopping, etc.).

—Jay Erwin, S.B.

Honestdebate about development for about 2,000 residential units at La Cumbre Plaza is addressed in our General Plan. Vehicular traffic (circulation element) is discussed, and the plan suggests adding additional vehicular streets. Specifically, it shows an east-west street between Las Positas Road and Hitchcock Way. The plan shows it would bisect the golf course and arrive opposite Stanley Drive.

We need more housing at all income levels, even luxury housing, which takes demand pressure off existing affordable housing stock. It’s also unfortunate the county Housing Element’s six stated goals make no mention of reducing carbon emissions and automobile trips, otherwise a remote location like Glen Annie golf course would be a nonstarter. City and county officials need to stop making excuses, quit their whining, roll up their sleeves, and get to work. This isn’t some paper exercise; it’s people’s lives. And it’s long overdue.

Roger Arlen Phillips 1934 - 2023

Roger Arlen Phillips, 88, beloved and devoted husband, father, and friend, passed away quietly surrounded by love in his home in Montecito on January 19, 2023.

Roger was born in 1934 to Paul Edward and Lela Belle Phillips of Bakersfield, California. As a young boy his family vacationed in Santa Barbara where he fell in love with the architecture, theaters, culture, and landscape. At 17, his architectural drawing instructor and author of Santa Barbara Adobes, Clarence Cullimore, submitted – unbeknownst to Roger at the time – an architectural drawing and model project to the 1952 Ford Motor Company Industrial Arts Awards contest and won a five-day all-expenses-paid trip to Detroit and Dearborn for Roger and Clarence. His entry “was judged superior to any of the several hundred other entries from the 48 states, Alaska, and the Hawaiian Islands.”

Roger obtained his degree in architecture from UC Berkeley in 1958 and soon after began work with Howell Arendt Mosher Grant Architects on Sola Street in Santa Barbara until returning to Bakersfield, meeting his wife who had come from Connecticut to teach in the Fall of 1959, and beginning his family. In 1964 Roger and his new family moved to Santa Barbara where he returned to the same firm with the updated name of Arendt Mosher Grant Architects on Micheltorena Street. Roger became a partner in 1975, with a further update of the firm name to Grant Pedersen Phillips in 1982. The firm name continued to evolve with new principals and Roger retired from architecture in 2007. The firm now practices under the name of 19six Architects to honor the founding year of the firm, one of the oldest and most established firms in California.

Over the course of a long and distinguished career, Roger designed and was involved with numerous projects which have served and enriched our community here in Santa Barbara and the South-Central Coast including, the City and County of Santa Barbara, UCSB, Santa

Barbara City College, Westmont College, Metropolitan Theatres, and the Music Academy of the West. Two of his most cherished projects were the Vista de las Cruces Elementary School in Buellton and the renovation of the Granada Theater. The small, beautiful school and grand historic theater are completely different in scale and use, yet both required the ultimate expressions of his expertise, drive, sensitivity, character and force as a man and architect.

Roger was a vital and present member of the community. He was a member of The American Institute of Architects as well as a Rotarian, where he served as president in 1987. He served on the Montecito Board of Architectural Review and other architectural review boards throughout the years.

Roger also served on the board of CAMA, The Community Arts Music Association, for a number of years and passionately enjoyed their concerts throughout his lifetime. He was a great lover of music, acoustics, and instruments in both practice and appreciation. During his involvement with the restoration of the Arlington Theater in the 70’s and 80’s he promoted the inclusion of a rare Wonder Morton theater organ. He played piano rags by Scott Joplin and jazz on the ukulele, of which he had an impressive collection. The last concert he attended was at the Granada Theatre where Jake Shimabukuro performed in December 2022.

Roger was unequaled in spirit and mind. He possessed a rare combination of knowledge, creativity, and vision, coupled with grace, charm, wit, and diplomacy. He was eloquent, positive, and constructive. He was a man of great faith and awed by the magnificence of our planet. He was grounded and grateful for his life. He was devoted to his family whom he considered his greatest treasure.

He is survived by Diana, his adored wife of 62 years, his sister Suzi Specht, daughter Kimberly Hayes, son Marc Phillips and their respective families. A memorial service will be held at El Montecito Presbyterian Church on Saturday, March 11 at 1:30 P.M. In lieu of flowers please remember CAMA.

Fred Owens 6/25/1946 - 1/3/2023

Texas where Fred worked as a journalist 18 years ago remains his friend to this day. Elaine wrote these words in a column marking Fred’s passing

achievement in life.

Fred Owens, 76, resident of Santa Barbara for the last 12 years, passed away suddenly from a recently diagnosed brain tumor. His longtime companion and partner in love, Laurie Moon, was at his side. After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease four years ago, he spent his last years enjoying time with his family, walking with Laurie, writing and numerous trips to Seattle,  Hawaii and even to Toronto for his 50 year college reunion at the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s College.

Born in Wilmette, Illinois, to Frederick Owens Sr. and Marie Owens (Cuny), Fred explored living in many places and had endless stories of hitchhiking and wandering from Mexico to Alaska in his younger days. He formed many lasting friendships from the flower fields of the Skagit Valley in the Pacific Northwest, landscaping around Boston, farm reporting in Texas, to living in Zimbabwe. When he met Laurie in Santa Barbara though, he knew he was home to stay.

His passion was writing and he displayed his talents in publishing several books, newsletters, blogs and newspapers under various mastheads such as Frog Hospital, Puget Sound Mail and Fred’s Almost Weekly. He had many loyal followers around the world who appreciated his wry observations on current events and daily life. He was an active supporter of the Mesa Harmony Garden and Kiwanis Club and enjoyed the camaraderie of his Parkinson’s exercise and support groups.

His children, Eugene of Los Angeles and Eva of Seattle, were his proudest achievements. He also leaves behind Eva’s wife Lara Rogers, grandsons Walter, Joseph and Paul, and his two sisters Carolyn Rios and Katie Owens and brother-in-law Bruce Walters of Denver. Fred had two former spouses, Susan Owens of Seattle, mother of his two children and Precious Sibanda formerly of Zimbabwe. He was predeceased by his sister Mary and brother Tom.

The owner of the Wilson County News in Floresville,

“Fred was kind and considerate, but firm in his beliefs— which differed from mine especially when it came to politics. We could completely disagree and still be friends. That is a good thing. The world would be a better place if there were more Freds. May you rest in peace, Fred Owens” A better way to be remembered would be hard to find. You are loved by many and we will forever miss you.

Our sincere thanks to Serenity House for their caring and empathy in Fred’s last days. As Fred would say, “See You Soon” and “Easy Does It”. A memorial celebration will be held at the Mesa Harmony Garden in late April. RSVP to Laurie Moon at moonmom49@ hotmail.com

Donations may be made in honor of Fred to Mesa Harmony Garden in Santa Barbara, a nonprofit that grows food for the Food Bank.

Anna Agnoli 3/3/1942 - 2/2/2023

From a young age, Anna’s favorite pastime was playing tennis, first at Oak Park and Samarkand Club, then at La Cumbre Country Club, where she was a long-time member, playing into her 70’s. Anna also enjoyed coaching the Bishop Garcia Diego High School’s girls tennis team. She was an excellent cook, master of sewing and knitting, and an extraordinary artist when it came to creating custom birthday and holiday cards for her family and friends. Anna enjoyed visiting and playing Bridge with her friends well into her 70’s, and was passionate about travelling with her husband Royal, going on cruises, and spending summers visiting family in her home town, San Benedetto.

Anna was a member of the church from a very young age, and later in life spent her Sunday mornings hosting Coffee and Donuts in the San Roque Parish courtyard after mass. On the weekends, Anna would spend her time spoiling her six grandkids, taking them to swimming lessons, the carousel, the Zoo, and attending every sporting event they played in.

Our family would not be where it is today if we didn’t have Anna as a wife, mother and grandmother. We are beyond blessed to have had her in our lives, and we should remind ourselves that while this is the end of Anna’s physical life on Earth, it’s the beginning of an eternal and beautiful journey for her.

This February 2nd, Anna Agnoli passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her family and loved ones.

On March 3rd, 1942, Anna was born in Harar, Ethiopia, a day the world became a little brighter. From the beginning, Anna displayed her strength and resilience, being born in a concentration camp while her father was a prisoner of war. She grew up in Italy with her sister, Liliana, in San Benedetto Del Tronto, a small town between the Adriatic coast and mountains, which inspired her forever home in Santa Barbara. At 19, she met and married her soulmate, Royal, whom she moved to Santa Barbara with in 1962, going on to have three children, Anna, Chris and Marie. She was a fiercely dedicated mom to all three children, raising all three to go on to accomplish great things. Family came first and was above all else to Anna, a value she instilled in all those around – her family was arguably her most important

Anna joins her daughter in Heaven, Anna Pappalardo (Pat), and is survived by many loving family members, including her devoted husband, Royal, her son, Chris (Tina), her daughter, Marie Reardon (Sean), her six grandchildren, Ariana, Katherine, Michael, Marina, Giada and Chiara, and her great grandson Giovani.

Marcy Anne Doremus Moore 1947 - 2023

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Marcy Anne Doremus Moore due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. Marcy was born In Minneapolis, Minnesota, on March 18, 1947, to Charles and Betty Doremus. She loved growing up in Minnesota. Her fondest memories were of boating, swimming, and visiting Bearskin lake, where her parents had a cabin. She also enjoyed the winters playing in the snow, and ice skating on frozen ponds, with dreams of becoming an Olympic skater.

Much to her chagrin, her family moved to Texas in the 1950s when she was in the third grade. She missed her childhood home but understood she had to move on. Marcy attended Thomas Jefferson High School in North Dallas, where she danced for the drill team, earning a chance to perform at the Cotton Bowl.

Marcy excelled in school. After stints at SMU and Oklahoma Universities, she yearned for new experiences and headed west.

She ultimately followed a friend to California, transferring to UCSB in 1967, where she fell in love with the city and her future husband. Marcy received her BA and Masters’s at UCSB as an honor student and later became an adjunct professor at Santa Barbara City College. She taught sociology courses for 40 years, significantly impacting young students’ lives. She was well-liked by her teaching associates and worked tirelessly, eventually earning (FACC) PartTime Faculty Member of the Year for California in 2016.

Marcy had an adventurous spirit and a great smile she carried all her life. After marrying fellow UCSB alum Vernon Moore in 1972, they traveled to Europe and Mexico, enjoying many adventurous and fun experiences before starting a family. With her two sons, Evan and Morgan, she developed many friendships from all their activities over the years. Her social network was an essential part of her life as she loved to

play host for events like book club, and her traditional Academy Awards party. In addition, she loved her birthday; with family and friends, making sure there were plenty of desserts and the Rolling Stones were playing so everyone could dance. She also became quite the white wine enthusiast, prompting visits to wineries wherever her travels would take her. She especially loved visits to British Columbia, Vancouver and Montana enjoying the beautiful landscapes and national parks.

Marcy was active, as she loved to ski, swim, hike and walk with her beagles. She was a fierce lover of dogs and often donated to organizations trying to save endangered species, especially wolves. Marcy was a kind and passionate person with a zest for life. She will be missed by so many.

She is survived by her husband Vernon, sons Evan and Morgan; daughters-in-law Stacey and Liz, and grandchildren Rilynn and Grady; her sistersin-law Charlotte Tanner , Karen Galindo, Carol Doremus and brother in-law Joe Hannan as well as Sister Maureen Hannan and brother Charles Doremus. A celebration of life will be held later in the spring. We also thank Central Coast Hospice for their compassion and care, allowing Marcy to pass peacefully at home.

Betty took up lawn bowling and played for almost 30 years. She was a regular volunteer at the Carpinteria Historical museum. She was always up for traveling opportunities. She became Cate School’s archivist after retiring from being the librarian, and was a fierce champion for preserving the history of the school and its traditions. After serving for 48 years she retired and from then until she left the mesa, at the age of 96, she was the unofficial hostess at a variety of events at the school. She was loved and admired by many at the school, both by staff and students.

In 1948 the family moved to California where Stan became a language teacher at Cate School in Carpinteria, which was home to Betty for 68 years.

The family grew in number to five children. Betty became actively involved in the Junior League and the Music Academy of the West. In 1957 Cate School hired Betty as its first school librarian, a role she loved and the initial source of her legacy on the Cate mesa. She was an avid hiker, tennis player, and loved to play Scrabble or Backgammon, as well as engage in social interactions, and cooking gourmet feasts.

Betty and Stan lived in many countries with their family, as their sabbaticals allowed them to live in France, Spain, Italy and Greece. As a result, they

In 2016 Betty left the mesa to live in assisted living quarters in Santa Barbara. She maintained her interest in activities and games and especially music.

Jack was born in Santa Barbara, California, to John and Leilani Strobel.  As a child, he played sports at the Goleta Boys and Girls Club, was in the Boy Scouts, had a paper route, and attended Kellogg Elementary and Goleta Valley Junior High. He graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 1986, and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. During boot camp, Jack suffered a fracture to his shoulder and was honorably discharged. He worked a number of jobs as a young man in Santa Barbara, ranging from working in the music scene at The Graduate/Anaconda to sorting mail at the U.S. Post Office.  In 1992, Jack completed his apprenticeship and became a journeyman carpenter.

In the early 90s, Jack began body piercing and worked alongside Freddy Negrete at Rat-a-Tattoo. That career moved him to Santa Cruz, where he first worked at Staircase Tattoo.  In 1999 he opened True Art Tattoo and owned it until 2013, when he changed careers and became a bartender (known as “Jack in the Bar”) working at Brady’s, The Jury Room, and The Cellar (Bocci’s).

Jack was a member of the Los Boulevardos Car Club, and participated in car shows for several years with his beloved 1965 Buick Riviera.

Jack’s big personality, sense of humor, sarcasm and wit, drew people to him. He was loyal, kind, and generous, and lived by the Golden Rule of “treat others the way you want to be treated.” Jack was a loving son, brother and uncle, and friend to many.  He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Jack is predeceased by his mother, Leilani Strobel.  He is survived by his father, John Strobel, sisters Hannah Egland (Todd) and Susan Meza (Daniel), and his nieces and nephews, Leilani Bucifal, Tristan and Crosby Egland, and Isabella and Evelyn Meza.

Dorothy was born in San Luis Obispo on June 5th, 1939, to parents, Joseph Silvera and Louis Rivea. She was raised there as a child, surrounded by a large loving family with many aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. She was fondly referred to as “Susie”. There, at the age of 3 Dorothy was crowned Portuguese Queen. The family later moved to Santa Barbara/ Goleta, area where she attended Goleta Union School, Santa Barbara Jr High and Santa Barbara High. Dorothy married Caesar Martinez and had 3 sons: Mike (Carol), Tony (Tessi) and Caesar (Debby).

In the early 70’s Dorothy began working at Heyer-Schulte in Production & Assembly. Surrounded by her ‘girls’, it was there she forged many lifelong friendships. She remained in the industry over 30 years, working her way into Customer Service and was a direct link to surgeons designing many custom implants. She was well loved and respected by those in her industry.

Mom was a brilliant, funny, creative person who loved dancing, cooking, crafting and gardening. She married Ben Georges in 1982. They began sharing many adventures together, traveling in their RV with annual trips to San Antonio Lake with family and friends. Dorothy taught many of her family and friends to waterski and kneeboard. She also loved her quieter trips to Lake Cachuma with Ben and her dogs, Wiley and Dolly.

Dorothy is survived by her husband Ben, sons and their wives, grandchildren; Brett (Monica), Derek, Kyle (Rebecca), Caitlin (Bula), great grandchildren; Annalyse, Alina, Ace, Clint, Naomi, Pi’ikea and Anuhea.

She is also survived by her loving blended family, with her sister-in-law, Cindy Burwell (Ken), 4 stepchildren, nieces, nephews, 12 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and her dog, Benji.

Frances Marcuse

1930 - 2023

South Africa. After retirement she remained active as a volunteer teacher, docent and literacy tutor before moving to Santa Barbara in 2017. We miss her, but find solace in the fact that she had a long life, well lived.

William Loren Wagner Sr.

8/14/1926 - 2/11/2023

Frances Marcuse passed away quietly in her apartment at Vista del Monte on January 19, 2023. As she took her last breaths she was attended by her sister, a daughter-in-law, and two of her granddaughters. She was predeceased by her eldest child, Irene, and her husband of 73 years, Peter, who passed away in March 2022. She is survived by her sons Harold and Andrew, as well as 7 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Frances Bessler was born in Yonkers, New York, in March 1930, to parents who had emigrated from Germany. The Besslers moved upstate, where Frances excelled at school, becoming valedictorian of her Germantown high school class and earning a scholarship to study at NYU. While working as an au pair for Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany she met her future husband.

The couple’s first date was at the 1948 New York City May Day parade, where they carried a capitalist dragon banner. Frances was involved in progressive politics, working for Henry Wallace’s presidential run, with a platform that included the desegregation of schools, gender equality, national health insurance, and public ownership of large banks, railroads and utilities.

Peter and Frances married in 1949. Their honeymoon was cut short when the Peekskill riot against a Paul Robeson concert broke out. After Frances’s graduation they moved to Connecticut, where Frances earned a teaching certificate and Peter practiced law. Over the next 35 years she worked her way up, teaching every odd grade in Waterbury schools from first to eleventh, earning an MALS, organizing a teachers union, and raising three children along the way.

Over the following decades she continued progressive political work. In the 1980s and 1990s the couple traveled extensively, with longer sojourns in East and West Germany and

An amazing soul has ascended to heaven to join his wife of over 73 years, Margie, and their two sons who preceded his passing, Bill Jr. and Eric.

William (Bill) Wagner Sr. was born in Los Angeles in 1926 and grew up in North and West Hollywood during the great depression. Times were extremely challenging, and Bill began working at a young age to help support his family. He and his brother Gaylord, sold newspapers which began his passion for sales, developing relationships, negotiations and deal making. He was a persistent entrepreneur even from a young age. His work experience also included operating a large laundry steam press in his teens and would become his job when he joined the Navy in World War 2. While stationed at Alameda Naval Air Station, Bill met his lifelong love, Margie Cassavechia, dancing at the USO Hospitality House in Oakland in November 1944. Bill and Margie married on June 3, 1945 about 3 months before the end of the war.

After his honorable discharge from the Navy, Bill’s first business was leasing a laundry and dry-cleaning facility he named Wagner Laundry. It quickly became apparent to him that this line of work was causing him health problems. So, he closed this business and started a new business as a dairy products supplier. It was a successful venture in which he owned his own delivery truck and started several delivery routes in new neighborhoods around the Bay Area. A little over two years later Bill would get his real estate license which would shape the rest of his professional career.

Bill joined a real estate firm

and the owner-broker suggested he might do well by finding the owners of vacant lots in the Bay Area and persuade them to list their lots for sale with him. Bill took his advice and thrived in his new line of work. He was Rookie Broker of the Year and went on to become a sales leader at the firm. A few years later in the mid 1950’s, Bill and his young family moved to Sacramento where he started his own very successful real estate and construction business, Wagner Real Estate. A little over ten years later in the late 1960’s, Bill would develop a relationship with Sambo’s Restaurants which he sold them numerous lots to build restaurants. This relationship would lead him to his next business venture.

Sambo’s offered Bill the job of Executive Vice President in charge of Development with the company at their national headquarters in Santa Barbara in 1970. Even though it would require him to move his family again, it was an opportunity too good to let pass. During the next ten years Bill would oversee the building of nearly 1,000 Sambo’s Restaurants nationwide.

After leaving Sambo’s in the early 1980’s Bill would become a commercial real developer. His projects continue to be a blessing to a vast number of individuals and families. This also allowed time for he and Margie to travel the world for many years which they both enjoyed. They loved living in Santa Barbara where they were extremely involved members of their church and community. Bill sang in the Constance Street

First Presbyterian Church choir for over four decades. He and Margie were also very active members of the La Cumbre Golf and Country Club for five decades and shared a passion for playing golf. He was an avid reader and lifelong learner. Bill was always smiling, telling jokes and had a huge heart, which touched many people in his lifetime. He will be greatly missed.

Bill is survived by his daughter-in-law Carol, grandchildren Bill III (Wendy), Kim (Kevin), Haley, Casey (Leah), Max (Kristen), eleven great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.

A memorial Funeral Service will be held at First Presbyterian Church at 21 East Constance Street at 1:00 PM on March 18, 2023. A reception will follow at La Cumbre Country Club from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.

Edwin Arthur Weston, age 97, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 12, in Santa Barbara. He was preceded in death by his two brothers.

First married in 1957, he had two sons, Edwin Weston and Dominic Weston. He married his current wife, and love, Mary Stewart, in 1974, and they shared a wonderful and active life throughout their marriage and up until his passing.

Still in high school when the Navy drafted him during WWII, he went on to be stationed in Korea for two years after the war ended. It was there that he studied electronics at the University of Minnesota, and discovered a vocation that would be his lifelong career. Mr Weston worked in electronics for 60 years, until he retired at 90 years old.

A quiet, modest man, Ed never boasted about his many abilities, but could repair literally anything, and even build items if it was necessary. He was an amazing man.

Ed was very honest and fair, and a man spoken of with kindness. He will be forever loved, greatly missed, and always remembered.

Jennie Kearl Welsh 1961 - 2023

famed Scottish born naturalist, who famously objected to the term “hiking.” People should not “hike,” Muir insisted; they should “saunter” instead. That means to stroll leisurely in a state of prayerful reverie. For Jennie, that sounded about right.

For 35 years, Jennie Kearl Welsh and I got to do the dance of life together. Sometimes we were Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire; other times, we were two porcupines attempting to do the tango. But whatever we were, we were always Jennie and Nick, Nick and Jennie. Sometimes — on special occasions — Jennie would go by Shangri-la Evanescence Duprix. It was a big name, but Jennie was a big spirit. And she was nothing if not evanescent.

Jennie was always about the dance. The night before her demise, we were lucky enough to see Los Lobos burn the house down at the Lobero Theatre together. Los Lobos was one of Jennie’s all-time favorite bands and as usual, they made her cry, they made her punch the sky — more than once — and they had her dancing in the aisles. I was lucky enough to share the dance floor with her.

The day after — on January 23 — Jennie died unexpectedly in her sleep.  Like many such deaths, hers came too soon. She had gas left in her tank and places still she wanted to visit, Scotland being her first, second, and third choice.

When Jennie walked down the street, the Red Sea parted. She was a blazing beauty with eyes so blue they never ceased to startle. She was endowed with an equally blazing intelligence. She suffered fools not at all, and was one to take the bull by the horns rather than letting sleeping dogs lie. Things had a habit of getting done when Jennie was involved. But along with all her formidable determination, there was also joy, laughter, and an abundance of sardonic observations.

Jennie delighted in the noisy music of the American language. She especially loved the maniacally original syntax of comedian W.C. Fields. His line from The Bank Dick — “Don’t be a mooncalf; don’t be a jabber-now; don’t be a luddy-duddy” — got frequent repetition in our house.

Jennie loved Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut and John Muir, the

Along the way, Jennie ironically embraced the comically hyper-formalized lingo common to middle managers at the restaurants where she worked in her youth. Somehow, it stuck. She never simply ordered a “Coke,” but always, a “cola beverage.”  On the rare occasion that Jennie found herself up against the ropes in an argument, she’d toss out one of her favorite lines from The Big Lebowski; “Yea, well, you know, that’s just like, your opinion, man,” she would say. With that, any argument was instantly over. And being very precise, Jennie knew exactly how many commas were to be enlisted in that recitation and exactly how those pauses should be timed.

Jennie grew up in Orange County, the third of five children; her grandparents — pioneer stock of Mormon faith — learned the importance of ingenuity and self-reliance. Those lessons were passed on. When Jennie was born, she came out tough and certain; but it was also forced upon her. From an early age, she endured way more than her fair share of spit balls, curve balls, and bean balls. When she was 3, her father was in a car crash that inflicted lifelong brain damage. That would be just one of many times where the rug was pulled out from under Jennie. Like many people who radiate an aura of self-possession, Jennie was also too sensitive for her own good. Within her immediate family, Jennie tended to see herself as the rebellious black sheep. In reality, she was a sheep in wolf’s clothing, a big sweetie who was a little too quick to put-up her dukes. Even while partying with friends and carrying on, Jennie would frequently call her mother, Barbra Kearl, to make sure her  mom  was OK. Later when Jennie’s parents could no longer care for themselves in Utah, Jennie moved heaven and earth to have them moved to Santa Barbara so they could be cared for here.

Jennie moved to Santa Barbara in 1982 to attend UCSB, paying her own freight as she went. As a student, she worked at a halfway house for people recently released from prison, at a flower stand, and at numerous restaurants. Later, she would sell ads

at the Independent newspaper which was where, and how, we met. She did many things during her life in Santa Barbara. Most important to who she was and who she intended to be, Jennie worked as a mediator. Working as part of the court’s alternative resolution program, Jennie handled countless landlordtenant disputes over the years, many messy small claims cases, and many even messier divorces. Mediation, she believed, offered people a rare opportunity to negotiate an outcome acceptable to both sides without incurring the human and financial cost of scorched earth litigation.  Over the past five years, she also worked to help find seniors — and their families — the right place where they could get the right level of care for their twilight years. Before that, she’d worked as a paralegal for a number of law firms in town. Wherever she worked, Jennie brought to bear an authoritative mix of compassion and competence. No one fell through the cracks. People knew they were cared for. They were.

Jennie wanted to be a lawyer. Not to be an attorney, but to be a mediator. She studied for the bar as part of a home study effort. She was one of the few people in the state to get clearance to pursue this isolated and challenging route. This, to put it in perspective, is akin to climbing Mt. Everest wearing nothing but sneakers on your feet but with no laces or socks. She came within striking distance three times. The last year she tried, the state bar changed how it calculated the scores. Law schools throughout the state howled in protest on behalf of students who found themselves short-changed. No one howled in protest for people like Jennie. But the goal posts had most definitely been moved.  It was a betrayal Jennie never got entirely over. Even so, she still pursued her mediation practice and used her grasp of the law to the advantage of her clients.

Jennie was pretty much an artist at everything she did. Function and beauty were forever enmeshed in her engineering aesthetic; in her mind every built or designed thing should embody both. While Jennie never described herself as an artist, no one ever told her she wasn’t, and she proceeded accordingly. She created hand-sewn Halloween costumes for our children Isaac and Annarose, and hand-tailored jackets for herself.  She was quick to embark on backyard construc-

tion projects worthy of the Army Corps of Engineers, excepting of course, her projects had flair.

For Jennie, being a mother was everything. As a mother, she gloried in her children’s independent spirits and their wild hearts. She also worried a lot.  Her love was always something fierce. To the very end, she remained very much an unrepentant mama bear

Jennie had a gift for noticing things that were not there but should have been.  On road trips, she would wonder why the number of bugs splattering our windshield, for example, had dropped so markedly from previous years. Sure enough, we later discovered, this turned out to be a thing, reflecting a significant decline in the world wide insect ecosystem.

Jennie loved music — Iggy Pop made her heart grin and Roy Orbison made her weep. It was how we came together in the first place and it kept us that way for the long haul. She made a point never to learn how to play an instrument. All that focus on technique, she’d say, would interfere with the magic of the experience. Even so, Jennie was endowed with amazingly gifted ears; she had an astonishing recall for lyrics and knew exactly what the melody line was supposed to sound like in any given song.

Most of all, Jennie believed in kindness — ferociously if warranted, and even on occasion when not. Just as much, she believed in justice. The unkind and the unjust were often oneand-the-same in Jennie’s world view and she abided neither. With her, such transgressions could not be sloughed off like water off a duck’s ass.  It wasn’t that she wouldn’t; it’s that she couldn’t. In later years, the growing gap between her own moral expectations and the ways of the world would take a toll.

As a woman coming of age at her particular time of history, these issues were neither ephemeral or abstract. They were in Jennie’s face — up close and way too personal — too much of the time.

She loved animals—the wild, crazy sheep from Scotland especially so, but goats, pigs, crows, and roosters, too. Dogs and cats, of course. Horses she loved but they made her nervous.  If she saw a lost dog, an unsupervised baby crow, or even a baby rat abandoned by its mother, she had to take immediate action.

Likewise, if she saw a homeless person in distress, she could not rest until something was

done to help. She was the calvary that other people called for. The only thing missing, it sometimes seemed,  were the horses and bugles.

Ideologically, Jennie was drawn to Christopher Hedges and his astringently apocalyptic critiques of the gross and growing inequities of wealth and power. She was also drawn to the equally apocalyptic Hopi Prophesies. But when it came to political figures, she gravitated towards the softies. One of her favorites was former President Jimmy Carter. To Jennie, Carter was as close to Mr. Rogers as any White House occupant ever got. And she absolutely loved Mr. Rogers, who famously passed along his mother’s exhortation to always look for where the helpers are. It should also be acknowledged Jennie had an abiding crush on Franklin Delano Roosevelt — transformed by his personal suffering to become a transformational world leader — not to mention Adam Schiff. Jennie was forever expressing gratitude that Dwight Eisenhower — former military commander during World War II — alerted the world to the dangers posed by the “military-industrial complex” on his way out the White House.

For much of her life, Jennie started the day reading the Los Angeles Times. She loved columnists Mary McNamara and Mark Sved in particular.  But as the news has grown increasingly grim, not even the intelligent illuminations of McNamara and Sved could save the day. Jennie’s head would shake and the muttering would start. As it built towards a crescendo of exasperation, Jennie would channel her inner Elijah Cummings, the late great Congressmember from Baltimore. “Come on now,” Cummings would rumble, “We’re better than this.” In such moments, Jennie would throw the paper down, look up at the heavens and exclaim — both as curse and blessing — “Come on now… .”

By then, we all knew the punch line.

“We’re better than this.”

Amen, Jennie, Amen.

C. Seybert Kinsell

1924-2023

A Treasured Pediatrician

BY LANNY EBENSTEIN

Dr. C. Seybert Kinsell was an extraordinary human being who loved other people and who tended to their needs throughout his long and productive life. He grew up in Santa Barbara and attended Roosevelt Elementary School, La Cumbre Junior High, and Santa Barbara High School. After high school, he went to college and then Stanford Medical School. He liked to recall how fortunate he was to study at Stanford under George Beadle, who would later receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Sey was brilliant and had a discursive, rather than linear, intelligence. His thought was elliptic and thorough rather than heading directly to the point. He wanted to understand the world and to reflect that understanding to others.

He was a treasured pediatrician and longtime family friend of many in the community. In my own family’s case, he was “Dr. Kinsell” to each of my three older brothers and myself. He made house calls when a child was particularly ill. My parents considered him a trusted family confidant, and he remained so for me. When I married in 2018, he made a cake for my wife and myself. He also dropped newspaper articles by that he thought I would be interested in, particularly from the London Financial Times, of which he was an avid reader.

Sey was highly involved in the community. Among other positions, he served on the City Police and Fire Commission, the County Parole Board, and the Chamber of Commerce Government Review Committee. He was a longtime member of the Santa Barbara Rotary Club, of which he had been president. He was involved with the Santa Barbara Historical Museum and the Santa Barbara High School Alumni Association. He was very interested in local history and had a large Santa Barbara postcard collection. Many knew him best for his work through the Santa Barbara Council for the Retarded, now the ARC Santa Barbara, which runs the Alpha Resource Center. He also served as president of this organization. He was very involved in establishing hospice care in Santa Barbara, both as organizational facilitator and hands-on volunteer.

The story is told of Sey that once, at a time when to have a disabled child was considered a stigma, two colleagues of his delivered an infant who unexpectedly had Down syndrome. They called Sey because they didn’t know what to tell the mother when she woke up. Sey traveled immediately to the hospital and cradled the baby in his arms. When the mother awoke, he transferred him to her, saying, “God has given you the most beautiful child in the world.” She replied: “Yes, He has.”

Sey was a great friend. Many families with a developmentally disabled family member owe a great debt of gratitude to him, including the Kallman and Ciabattoni families. According to Carol Kallman, Sey was a “very important part of our family and yes, he was my baby doctor.” Sally (Ciabattoni) Saenger remembers him as “a name I grew up with” and trusted family friend. When my oldest brother, Phil (who was developmentally disabled), visited Santa Barbara in recent years, Sey was always available to have breakfast or lunch with him, which delighted Phil. Sey was a connection to our parents, and through him, Phil had a

chance to stay anchored to his past and recall happy times. Sey and I would also occasionally get together, and it was always great to see him. He was among the most positive and encouraging people I have ever known. He would do whatever he could to help.

He liked to write his thoughts on life and the world, and it is appropriate to share some of these both for their intrinsic value and the light they shed on him:

Religion belief that there is an unseen order

Some people grow old / others just add years

Build up your Spiritual Stamina

People, not candles, set the mood

People should like you, not for your looks but what’s in your heart

What cannot be said will be wept

Sey truly was a wise and wonderful human being. He always had a good word to say, was enthusiastic, and smiled. He once wrote me: “Human wellness demands relationships we with others and others with us we have moments to think of the significance (of) what we do for others and what they do for us.” I saw him for the last time in the spring of this past year. We had a great lunch at the Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach. He walked with a cane, but his spirit was undiminished. He loved life, and he loved helping others.

Good people just are to everyone. Physician, community leader, and friend this was Sey Kinsell. A memorial service in his honor will be held on April 25 at 2 p.m. at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.

Charles Lloyd:

A Living Legend Live at the Lobero

Jazz Great Celebrates His 85th Birthday and the Historic Theater’s 150th Anniversary

by John Zant / Photos by Matt Perko

It was an exciting yet somewhat intimidating assignment for a sports writer: Compose a story about Charles Lloyd, a certified luminary in the world of jazz, on the momentous occasion of his 85th birthday, which will be commemorated in conjunction with the year-long 150th anniversary of the Lobero Theatre, a cherished citadel of culture in Santa Barbara.

Lloyd, still vigorously blowing notes through the tenor saxophone and flute, takes the stage on Friday, March 10 leading a fabulous quartet including pianist Jason Moran, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Brian Blade.

Blade is making his debut with Lloyd, adding his name to the dozens of musicians who populate the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) Jazz Master’s vast repertoire of concerts and recordings.

The first thing one notices on a visit to the Montecito home where Lloyd resides with his wife, Dorothy Darr, are the walls filled with historical photos and posters.

“These are my deities when I’m working on music,” Lloyd says, pointing to images of Art Tatum, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, and Johnny Hodges.

The serenity of the location also inspires him. “There was a spiritual thing when I saw this land,” Lloyd says. “I’ve been living in nature going on 50 years. It heals me and spills fresh water on me.”

He continues to move around the room. “There’s my hero Lady Day,” he says. “I had the idea to get to New York and marry Billie Holiday, but I was too young. I not only heard her, but she was just singing to me. She was mine. But I didn’t get there in time.”

He lingers over a photo of Booker Little, saying, “My best friend in high school [Manassas High in Memphis].” Little was a trumpet player who made a huge impact on Lloyd during his short life. “Clifford Brown was his guy,” Lloyd says of another young trumpet trailblazer. “When Clifford Brown died in an accident, Booker came home from college at Christmastime. We were hanging out, and he started crying. ‘Clifford’s gone; why couldn’t it have been me?’ How many 18-year-olds would have said that?” Little later died of an illness at 23. Before then, Lloyd says he stayed with him in New York. “Booker checked me out: ‘What’s going on?’ I was ready to get in the fast lane. He said, ‘This is about character.’ That just stopped me.”

Lloyd made a big splash with his band that featured Keith

Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, and Cecil McBee. They recorded the acclaimed live album Forest Flower in 1966. During that time, Harry Edwards, who was to become a good friend, discovered him.

Edwards, an 80-year-old sociologist, is a longtime consultant for the San Francisco 49ers and Golden State Warriors. He can talk about sports and jazz. “Jazz is sports made audible,” he says. “Sports is jazz made visible to the naked eye.”

It’s been said that sports do not build character; they reveal it. The same can be said about jazz, and Edwards found Lloyd’s music to reveal a deep and compassionate man. He needed that music, Edwards says, after enduring the fallout from leading the athletes’ rights movement that

“Charles is just such a unique voice, a presence not only in the music world, but in the world itself,” says Brian Blade, who will join Lloyd on stage on March 10. “He offers great light and joy.”

culminated in the iconic medal-stand demonstration of Tommie Smith and John Carlos (joined by Australian Peter Norman) at the 1968 Olympic Games.

“After 1968, I was in a knot,” Edwards says. “The police, FBI, death threats, turmoil of Black power. But we got it done. Smith, Carlos, the whole track team were trying to say something that needed to be heard. We’ve had poverty, bombings, lynching, assassinations, but America is better than that. The whole world was talking about it. It’s etched into history.

“After that, I overdosed on Charles Lloyd and his music. He brought me back down. We got to embrace each other,” says Edwards.

Edwards traced the reverse arc of Lloyd’s musical life: “Forest Flower sold a million albums. He played at the Fillmore with rock bands to packed houses, but his music wasn’t crossover. Charles swept up everybody, engaged everybody, and carried them along. But then it seemed he was losing touch with himself and music, where he wanted to go with it. Whatever it was, he disappeared, and you thought that was the end of the journey. Then you found out he hasn’t left the station. He came back with all his humanity, and at 85 he’s still creating. You don’t do that just because your joints and lungs allow you to reach the notes. What this tells me: This is not a function of age. It’s something much deeper than that. When they close the box on him, it will squeak a jazz note. Until then, he’ll keep right on blowing.”

At a time when people are declaring who’s the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in various fields, Lloyd must be in the conversation when it comes to the tenor saxophone. Certainly he is among the best still performing, having outlasted Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter. The DownBeat Critics 2022 poll ranked him number one. As far as Lloyd is concerned, “My alltime greatest is Prez, Lester Young. He was the greatest poet in the instrument. Of course, Coleman Hawkins is up there. I sat at his feet at the Vanguard. [John] Coltrane mastered the instrument and the spirituality. People compared me to ’Trane. That’s why I moved to New York, because of ’Trane and Sonny Rollins too. I had many decades to go. Those guys set such a high standard. They were the modern masters. They inspired me greatly.”

Asked his opinion on the basketball debate LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan Lloyd chooses Bill Russell, who led the Boston Celtics to 11 NBA championships in 13 years. “Nobody else comes close,” Lloyd says. “When I was with Cannonball, we’d go to Boston. Russell had to put

up with so much racism there. I told [Charles] Barkley one day we were staying in the same hotel in New York that Russell’s my guy. He said he’s the master.”

It’s not surprising that Lloyd would hold a dominant player during his youth in such high esteem. It’s the same with the long-gone jazz artists. He is animated by their spirits.

“As I’ve become an elder more and more,” Lloyd says, “Lester Young and my first love, Billie Holiday they come back and sing in my heart. I’m still not good enough to quit. I have lots of experience. The blessing for me is the game is mine. I’m still working on it.”

He adds, “I’m just drunk, I’m still drunk, and that’s a beautiful thing, if I can stay here and send out my messages to the world.” This speaks of a healthy intoxication, nourishing rather than dissipating. It calls to mind the words of French poet Charles Baudelaire: “Get drunk! Stay drunk! On wine, virtue, poetry, whatever!”

Santa Barbara audiences have witnessed the flourishing of Lloyd’s character. Friday’s concert will be his 18th at the Lobero since 1981. Steve Cloud, who has promoted all of them, says no other artist has made more appearances on that stage.

This concert was a couple of years in the making, says Darr, who minds her husband’s business affairs. “Charles said, ‘I want to make a recording of tenderness with Jason and Larry and Brian Blade. I need something to do with tenderness for the world.’ They all said yes. Then the challenge was finding overlapping dates. It took about a year to get a date, and it coincided with the Lobero anniversary.”

All three of the musicians who will perform with Charles Lloyd at the Lobero expressed their reverence for the leader and his music.

Pianist Jason Moran, 48, from Houston, has performed and recorded regularly with Lloyd since 2008. He received a MacArthur “genius grant” in 2010. Moran says, “Charles is from an era where people like to sing, and the way he plays, he’s aiming to sound like Billie Holiday sings … Heartbreak, joy, the cavalier quality that falls out of her mouth into your soul … he wanted to put those qualities in the saxophone. It has a dive-into-your-chest quality; then he gives it a falsetto that sings like a bird. He can chant, shout, squeal, whisper. In the end, it’s all spiritual.

“America wants polar opposites this against that but his music offers, at every turn, solo to solo, a way to be in-between. It’s an undulating landscape. As a rhythm section, we undulate the ground and give

[Charles] sand, ocean, iceberg, dunes, tundra … give him different places to walk in, set his soul on top of,” says Moran.

He continues waxing rhapsodically about Lloyd. “He hears music everywhere. It doesn’t have to be a saxophone. He puts the saxophone down, picks up maracas, bells…. He’s been thinking about these years of his life for a while, where does it go…. All artists are required to be sensitive to [the] environment, from harsh to glorious. Sometimes tenderness has to be displayed.”

Bassist Larry Grenadier, 57, a Bay Area native, tours with pianist Brad Mehldau. They both made ECM recordings with Lloyd in 2000 and 2001. Grenadier says, “The stuff Charles plays is amazing, one of a kind. Jazz is about different personalities, and all he asks from people is to be themselves, create, put out stuff, and accept what comes back. He lays out a creative environment. Group interplay is going on constantly. It’s not complex. You don’t have to rehearse, just connect, be honest. Charles surrounds himself with people who share those ideas of making music, so I don’t have to worry while playing.

“I’ve never had a gig with him when you leave the stage and don’t feel satisfied. It’s cleansing to play with him. The Lobero is a great place. It’s best to play in smaller theaters or clubs.”

On Blade making his first appearance with Lloyd, Grenadier says, “He has a really wide range of expression. You can take the music many different places. He’s one of the great drummers of the last 50 years. I always thought that would be an amazing combination. It’s finally happening. Everybody’s going to show up, a very creative band. It’s always like that with Charles.”

Drummer Brian Blade, 52, from Shreveport, Louisiana, who was voted the number-one drummer in jazz on the 2022 DownBeat Readers Poll, says, “Charles is just such a unique voice, a presence not only in the music world, but in the world itself. He offers great light and joy. This is a privilege and honor. I’ve seen him many times, listened to his recordings, and first saw him in a film with Cannonball Adderley. He keeps searching and revealing more of who he is and what he loves.

“Thinking about the history of music Charles has created … with Billy Higgins, Roy Haynes, Jack DeJohnette … I’m walking in their footsteps. I’ll be giving my best, hopefully supplying what is needed in the moment. Larry [Grenadier], wow, we’ve played quite a bit. I recently played with Jason [Moran] in tribute to Ron Miles…. This will be great company,” says Blade.

He adds, “The circle is completed by the listeners: They share, give back even in silence. Being that this is Charles’s community, I’m sure it will be a resounding evening.”

Queens of the Central Coast

An Introduction to the Santa Barbara Drag Scene

by Ricky Barajas

The popularity and acclaim of popular TV shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race and HBO’s We’re Here have shined lights on drag culture in communities and homes across the nation; however, there is still widespread misunderstanding of who drag queens are, what they do, and why they deserve a place in Santa Barbara.

The Wildcat Lounge (wildcatlounge.com), which is one of the oldest queer-friendly spaces in town, became so after all of Santa Barbara’s gay bars closed in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Robert Mendez, manager at the Wildcat, started a gay-club-themed night Red Room on Sundays in 2003. Sunday, February 26, marked the 20-year anniversary of Red Room.

“Those [early] days, it wasn’t very accepting that our community was going to bars downtown that were not gay bars,” said Mendez.

Gaining recognition and acceptance of queer identities in the U.S. has always been a battle. The LGBTQ+ Pride movement began with a riot started by a police raid in 1969, and thousands of gay men died in the 1980s before President Ronald Reagan ever acknowledged the existence of the HIV virus. And today, the American Civil Liberties Union reports that there are currently 321 active anti-LGBT bills across 36 states, and events like the Pulse nightclub shooting in June 2016 and Club Q shooting in November 2022 show that there is danger present even in predominantly queer spaces.

Even in the face of such danger, there are people in the queer community who have taken it upon themselves to not only live in a way that feels authentic and true to them, but also to revel in it. In this reverence for the power of selfexploration and expression, they share their joy with their communities. These people are drag queens, who dress up in items such as wigs, dresses, and high heels with full faces of makeup and perform as women with names that are often inspired by female characters or contain some sort of pun, such as Pam Cakez (“pancakes”).

Vivian Storm (vivianstorm.com), who has become one of the most iconic queens in town, created her name from a

Drag as a form of performance art has origins that many attribute to Shakespearean theater in the late 1500s a time when women were not allowed to act on stage, so all the characters were played by men. Since then, and until relatively recently, drag performances were primarily practiced by cisgender men, though this is not a rule people who identify as transgender or nonbinary as well as cisgender women all are capable of doing so.

The nature and style of drag performances have shifted dramatically from onstage theater due to influences like the New York City ballroom scene and gay men’s fascination with pop divas. Drag queens today may perform by lipsyncing to anthems by classically celebrated pop stars such as Diana Ross, Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion, or more contemporary legends like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Doja Cat. Some may sing or showcase their dancing skills, fashion sensibility, or comedic timing while on stage, too.

combination of Aunt Vivian from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman, and the X-Men character Ororo Munroe, whose hero name is Storm. “When I’m on stage, I want you to feel like a whirlwind went through you,” she said.

Angel D'Mon

Melina and Angel at the Wildcat Glitter Brunch

A lifelong resident of the Central Coast and former drag performer himself, Mendez said, “I remember doing drag in the early ’90s, and I loved it. I especially loved going to the drag shows. A lot of my close friends did drag, and I always admired them.”

With the introduction of Crush Bar & Tap (crushbarsb.com), and new presences on social media such as @gaysantabarbara, queer-friendly spaces have become more common in town, and there is a strong community developing. Crush frequently has events hosted by drag queens such as RuPaul’s Drag Race screenings. Pearl Social (pearl socialsb.com) has popular drag bingo nights hosted by Vivian Storm.

Another popular event that has taken Santa Barbara over like a hurricane is the Sunday Glitter Brunch (glitterbrunch.com) on the back patio of the Wildcat, which Vivian Storm and Angel D’Mon (angeldmon. com) have hosted for the last two-and-a-half years. Storm, D’Mon, and other queens lipsync and dance their way through the aisles of the outdoor space, while attendees can enjoy a mimosa and food provided by a rotating selection of local restaurants.

“It’s become a home and a safe space for queers where they can be authentically themselves. When you come to brunch, you’re part of a community,” said Angel D’Mon.

One queen named Feltaan began her drag journey here, in part because of the support that she now has to express herself as freely as possible. “Drag in Santa Barbara for me has been an amazing experience,” she said. “For the first time in my life, I felt comfortable, accepted, and protected in my community.”

Santa Barbara is not entirely free of longheld prejudices, unfortunately. After a growing wave of anti-drag demonstrations across

the nation, protests reached Santa Barbara in early February. Demonstrators invited by the Santa Barbara GOP lined up across from The Crafter’s Library (thecrafterslibrary.com), a business located in downtown Santa Barbara where local queen Angel D’Mon hosts an event to read queer-, gender-, and racialinclusive literature to children. Signs held by demonstrators carried messages such as “Keep kids innocent” and “Perversion isn’t education.”

Angel, who received a Master’s in Education from Antioch University and works professionally as a kindergarten teacher, has hosted Story Time with Miss Angel at The Crafter’s Library for the past two years and says that this is the first time that anyone has had an issue with her reading to children. “People making these comments have yet to experience a Story Time event,” she said. “It’s always developmentally appropriate.”

The owner of The Crafter’s Library, Andrew Rawls, identifies as a gay man and has no plan to stop hosting Story Time. “I want to make sure that today’s youth have LGBTQ+ role models that they can look up to….We can also provide resources for parents who may be raising a queer child,” he said.

Despite the backlash from the more extreme conservatives in town, the queens in Santa Barbara have big plans. Vivian Storm, who recently headlined the Juneteenth Block Party, is forming a band to support her singing and is looking for a place to have what she described as a “Vegas-style residency.” She is also excited to watch as more queens find niches in which they excel. She said, “When you come from a place of abundance, you just have joy in your heart for them.”

Starr-King Rummage Sale Goes Uptown to La Cumbre Plaza

For eons, the Starr-King Rummage Sale has functioned as a seasonal rite of passage throughout the South Coast, somewhat akin to the role played by Groundhog Day or the start of spring training elsewhere. The sale a massive pop-up long before the term was minted can be counted on to offer a sprawling cornucopia of high-quality items from kids’ shoes to household furniture and everything inbetween for ridiculously reasonable prices.

Popular Sale Is Back with New Location

This March 11 just four days shy of the Ides of March the Starr-King sale will be held for the first time ever in the La Cumbre Plaza parking lot right by the former Sears building. For $20, early birds will be granted first access from 7-8 a.m. Otherwise, admission is free.

In years past, the sale having outgrown the Starr-King premises was held at Earl Warren Showgrounds. In addition to the exhaustively curated treasure trove of recycled goods, there will be baked goods and gourmet breakfasts on hand, offering shoppers a chance to talk with their mouths full as they bump into old friends and new while catching up on life. The proceeds go to underwriting the annual costs of Starr-King a parent-child workshop (not a day care provider) run under the auspices of Santa Barbara City College’s adult education program.

Starr-King named after Thomas Starr-King, the famed Unitarian firebrand and stemwinder of the 19th century and credited by Abraham Lincoln for keeping California out of the Civil War is now entering its 75th year of operation in Santa Barbara. From the outset of its inception, the point has been to educate parents about the developmental stutter-steps their young children can be expected to take. Translated into plainer language, Starr-King has reassured countless generations of parents that their kids from 2 and nine months of age until 5 have not already fallen hopelessly behind. Every child, parents are taught, learns and progresses at their own rates; except for rare instances, panic is not called for.

Parents absorb these lessons by putting in hours of mandatory volunteer service. Representatives of all families have to put in volunteer time in “the classroom,” working one weekday morning a week and attending a two-hour meeting every Tuesday evening, loosey-goosey enough to be enjoyable but structured enough to impart real information. Mostly they learn how to stay out of their kids’ way while helping to create an environment engineered to promote a very tactile variant of hands-on learning.

During the COVID shutdown Zoom meetings for kids that young were not really an option StarrKing director Yolanda Medina-Garcia dropped off learning materials at the households of every student enrolled. Even so, about half the families fell out of the program. Some parents needing to work had to send their kids to other childcare providers. MedinaGarcia says she expects enrollment to return to pre-

The Arlington Theatre

pandemic levels this coming fall. For those able to put in the hours, the rewards are immediate and obvious. For $300 a month, they can get a childcare experience that would cost $1,000 anywhere else. (Revenues generated by the rummage sale estimated to be about $28,000 are key to maintaining these affordable rates.)

Also hard-wired into the Starr-King curriculum is an expanded — and enduring sense of community; for parents and children alike, friendships and connections forged at Starr-King will extend well past the foreseeable future. Adding a bittersweet touch, this will be the last rummage sale for Medina-Garcia who has been at the helm for 25 years as well as her second-in-command, Bonnie Kerwin. Between the two of them, Median-Garcia and Kerwin have 80 years in the trenches of early childhood education. At Starr-King, they’ve put in 35 years combined. At first blush, this might seem like the Thelma and Louise school of succession management. But Kerwin’s replacement Diana Kinsey has been on the job and learning the ropes the past six months. No successor has been selected yet for Medina-Garcia.

ANCHOR ROSE BLOOMS AT THE HARBOR

It’s rare a place recently opened is instantly a family legacy, but not every place is Anchor Rose.

The bubbly, quick-with-a-hug owner-operator

Amy Rose knows everyone’s name as she cruises the dining room with the to-die-for harbor and mountain views. “I’m married to my work and my children are my people,” Rose insists. But it’s what the spot means to her for her father, Bob Rose, that’s the real story.

Bob Rose lived in Santa Barbara and Goleta for 50 years, leading a restaurateur’s life, including buying Harry’s Café after the original Harry. Eventually his career led to owning six Black Bear Diners in the San Joaquin Valley. Though born and bred in Santa Barbara, Amy was living in Europe managing several Lululemon locations when her dad reached out in 2015 to say, “Come help me retire.” So she came back to the states and put her business acumen to work.

But then COVID hit, and the family business went from 750 employees to eight. And personal tragedy struck, as Bob developed dementia. Hoping that opening a business closer to home might keep him going Amy says, “When talking numbers, his brain started working again” the Roses made a proposal for the Goleta Beach space formerly occupied by the Beachside, where Amy had worked for years back in her college days.

The County selected a different proposal, and the Roses continued looking for a local restaurant spot. When Aaron Petersen was looking for someone to take over Chomp on the Rocks/Salty on the Beach, “We signed the lease in October 2021 while my dad was still alive,” Amy said, “but then he passed away in December.” With the family estate tied up, she looked for partners and teamed up with Dennis Longaberger, owner of the Sunset Kidd, and Bryan Deminie, project manager at WD Construction in Santa Monica.

The Rose pitch for the Goleta location was to be called Port and Starboard, but that name didn’t seem to fit the two-story, much larger Harbor Way location. “My dad was my guiding light and kept me grounded,” Amy says, “so, given our location, it was easy to go with Anchor Rose as a way to honor him.”

Anchor Rose also can be considered Beachside 2.0, as Rose has brought over some of the key personnel from that beloved institution. Her General Manager is Amado Simon, who worked at the Beachside for 29 years, including when Amy did. Her chef is Carlos Ramirez, also from the Beachside. But at Anchor Rose, Ramirez proudly says, “They let me have my own menu.” That means the upstairs is an all-American seafood place with some Spanish and Mexican leanings, such as patatas bravas (Rose can’t even get Ramirez to give her his bravas sauce recipe) and a customer-favorite chile rellenos con camarones. Everything is made from scratch (well, the bread comes from local fave Ethnic Breads).

The downstairs, or “below deck,” as Amy calls it, is in the process of renovation, with a hopedfor opening in time for St. Patrick’s Day. The

Barbara Heritage and New Passion Fuel Classic Location

goal is to build it out like the interior of a mega-yacht, with lots of teak and bespoke white leather booths with a Spanish tapas-style menu. The patio is also being redone with more fire pits and comfy couches. Amy is particularly happy to have co-owner Deminie in the restaurant construction business for support.

“The Bob Rose legacy is so layered, and now we’re creating the Rose legacy,” Amy sums up. “We’re taking it up another notch. It’s a long line of Santa Barbara heritage we’re bringing back to this community.”

Los Altos Coming to Goleta

Los Altos Mexican restaurant at 318 North Milpas Street is opening a second location at 5892 Hollister Avenue in Old Town Goleta, the former home of Mariscos Santa Barbara (which opened in May 2022), Wingman Rodeo, Gimeal Café, and The Natural Café. Owner Alberto Gonzalez’s home of Jalisco, Mexico, is the inspiration behind the taste and feel of Los Altos, which opened on the Eastside in July 2015. With daily specials and handmade tortillas, the commitment to traditional cooking by a family-owned and -operated restaurant helps them capture what they feel is the true spirit of Mexico. The menu includes menudo, barbacoa, tacos, burritos, tortas, sopes, fresh seafood, and traditional favorites. Visit losaltosrestaurant.com

“THREE MONKEYS” SEEN AT PUBLIC MARKET: Reader Jennifer M. noticed a sign for “Three Monkeys” at the Santa Barbara Public Market. She says that it will be brought to you by Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar, which is currently a tenant in the facility. The new sign includes the name “Thailand” and has photos of BBQ, so I’ll assume that Thai BBQ will be their focus. Their Instagram doesn’t explicitly state what the cuisine is, but it does say they will have a few vegan options as well.

TAQUERIA LA UNICA OPENS THIS MONTH: In March 2022, I broke the news that Taqueria La Unica is coming to 3771 State Street, the former home of Dunkin’ Donuts, Taco Bell, and Char West. The Mexican eatery will be run by Carlos Luna, owner of the hugely popular Los Agaves restaurants as well as Santo Mezcal. Reader Andreas C. sent me an update: “That taqueria coming to where Dunkin’ used to be seems to be opening within days. For a week or so now, they have had all their tables, chairs, registers set up, but just this morning I saw a huge meat truck and two refrigerated trucks delivering stuff there.” Sources tell me the Taqueria La Unica hopes to open in mid-March.

PRIX-FIXE EARLY DINNER AT BLACK SHEEP: A new Happy Hour has arrived downtown. The Black Sheep “S.B. Brasserie,” which opened last December at 18 East Cota Street, has introduced their Apero Prix-Fixe Early Dinner, offered nightly from 5-6 p.m. The three-course meal is available for $39 and includes a 30 percent discount on glasses and bottles of wine.

The starter menu includes vegan cauliflower soup (Thai curry, coconut, apples) and endive and butter gem salad (chèvre, pepitas, citrus, radish, honey dressing). Choices of entrées include coq au vin (organic Rocky Jr. chicken braised in burgundy wine), beef short-rib bourguignon (celery root mash, broccolini), and hand-rolled ricotta cavatelli (wild mushrooms, white port). Dessert offerings are brown sugar crème brûlée, Tahitian vanilla bean, Bananas Foster “bread pudding,” and cinnamon-rum anglaise. Call (805) 965-1113 or visit blacksheepsb.com

GOLETA SIGNS: Franco Rizzo, owner of the ubiquitous Goleta Signs company, which has created many of the signs outside of businesses across the South Coast, was working hard the other day installing a new sign for Santa Barbara Fish Market coming to the University Plaza Shopping Center near Costco. The new location will be 7127 Hollister Avenue, Suite 18, the former home of La Bella Rosa Bakery (2016-2019), Café Zoma (2010-2011), and Mojo Coffee (2006-2010). Rizzo tells me that the beautiful new sign lights up from inside and will look great day and night. A peek inside the building reveals that the interior hasn’t changed much since last year, but I expect construction to be full steam ahead soon.

SNEAK PEEK, SHALHOOB’S IN NOLETA: In April 2022, I broke the news that Shalhoob’s had signed a lease to take over 5112 Hollister Avenue in Noleta, the former home of Woody’s BBQ. Reader Steve H. sent me photos that suggest that construction is well underway but that there are still months of work remaining.

CELEBRATED CELLIST’S FRAGMENTS OF A LARGER WHOLE

CELEBRATING

60 YEARS OF GOLETA VALLEY ART

When last we caught renowned cellist Alisa Weilerstein, she was live, but not in person she was livestreaming a concert from home, as part of UCSB Arts & Lectures’ (A&L) enterprising House Calls series, in February 2021.

Fast-forward to Friday, March 10, and the much-celebrated cellist will be performing live and in person at Campbell Hall, with the U.S. premiere of her ambitious new mosaic concept work FRAGMENTS. Co-commissioned by A&L, her work involves the interweaving of pieces from the iconic Bach Cello Suites and new compositions from a variety of 27 handpicked living composers, diverse in age, race, gender, and genre, as well as customized and responsive staging/lighting design.

Weilerstein’s performance is phase one of a multi-part, multi-year project, each segment spotlighting five or six contemporary composers their identity is intentionally left as a surprise until concert’s end blended with Bach movements, purposefully sequenced out of order. Similar old-meets-new music projects have taken hold in the classical world, including work of Jennifer Koh and the Danish String Quartet, heard in Santa Barbara, and Joyce DiDonato’s staged EDEN, heard at the Granada in January.

But there are clear distinctions with Weilerstein’s FRAGMENTS, and her carefully curated fragmentation process amounts to her most ambitious and personal project yet. Among her achievements are a MacArthur “Genius Grant” in

2011, engagements with the world’s finest orchestras, and now her private conceptual breakthrough.

We spoke to the cellist-conceptualist last week from San Diego, where she lives with her family when not in Montreal. The bi-city arrangement is linked to orchestras, as her husband, Rafael Payare, is music director of both the San Diego Symphony and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.

FRAGMENTS sounds like such an intriguing and evolving project. What’s its origin story?

During the lockdown, maybe in December 2020, all my projects were canceled. I eagerly put the cello down again and just started scribbling down ideas with pencil and paper. Most of what I wrote down that day has made it into the final product. I knew I wanted to first of all commission a very large group of composers in contemporary classical music. I was not interested in doing fusion or crossover. I wanted to highlight a kind of kaleidoscopic vision. I’m happy to say that my final group of composers is diverse in every single way.

One tenet, which is important which I was scribbling down that first day was that I wrote in big capital letters, “NO PROGRAMS WHILE PEOPLE ARE LISTENING!” Afterward, they get the full menu. I wanted them to hear these voices without preconceived notions.

How did the staging aspect of the project come into play? I knew nothing about the theater world or the opera world, really, other than I knew what I liked. I was

really a novice in it. I started working with Hanako Yamaguchi, who has been holding my hand through all of this. And she introduced me to Elkhanah Pulitzer, who is a fantastic opera stage director, and by extension, her lighting designer [Seth Reiser], who is just a great artist. Thank God, [Pulitzer] immediately got on board and ran with this idea of fragments, creating a fragmented room, which I travel with.

You are breaking out of the box or various boxes of how classical music has been presented. Is that an overarching objective for you? I think everyone is rethinking this. It’s one of the positive consequences of having to really take an enforced pause. There were a lot of people who took the opportunity to really rethink the old models. I’ve always been wrestling with these questions of why certain things work better than others and this, that, the other.

It’s time to raise a glass in honor of the Goleta Valley Art Association’s (GVAA) 60th anniversary on March 11 with a luncheon celebration at the Frog Bar and Grill at Glen Annie Golf Course and special exhibition at the Goleta Valley Library. Under the leadership of Warren Fuller, the GVAA was founded by a small group of artists in 1963, with their first show at a bank in Goleta that year. Back then, there were just 16 members; today, their membership is composed of more than 200 local artists.

“We are delighted to be able to gather with fellow members and friends in the community for our first annual luncheon since 2019 to celebrate 60 years of fulfilling our mission to bring art to the community,” said GVAA president Elizabeth U. Flanagan, who began her service in 2017. She’s one of 46 people to serve as president over the 60 years.

AND THE LOSERS AREN’T… TIBRINA

When it comes to the season of Academy Awards hoopla and second-guessing, Santa Barbara has had a special brand of skin in the game for many years, thanks to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF). By the time the proverbial envelopes are opened and Oscar history is made on Sunday night, we will have already been privy to many of the nominees, live and in person at the Arlington, including Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Cate Blanchett (Tár), Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin), (Brendan Fraser (The Whale) , and Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once), as well as all the nominees for Best Screenplay, among others. The year 2022 has ushered out a strong and often artistically brave pack of films, with lines between art and blockbusters blurred.

Woodard

Was it obvious that the Bach Cello Suites would be the foundational core of this project? It’s funny; I don’t look at it as the foundational core, even though I see why it’s perceived that way. There’s actually far more new music than there is Bach. I’m not saying this is “Bach Plus,” and I don’t put Bach in bigger letters than anybody else. We all worship Bach, but Bach was also just a human being. Yes, a genius. He’s one of the 28 composers that are in this project. [Laughs.] —Josef

“Porter Trail” by Mirella Z. Olsen

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Repressed feelings and dormant passions are rising to the surface. I bet they will soon be rattling your brain and illuminating your heart, unleashing a soothing turbulence of uncanny glee. Will you get crazy and wise enough to coax the Great Mystery into blessing you with an inspirational revelation or two? I believe you will. I hope you will! The more skillful you are at generating rowdy breakthroughs, the less likely you are to experience a breakdown. Be as unruly as you need to be to liberate the very best healings.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): You finally have all you need to finish an incomplete mission or resolve a mess of unsettled karma. The courage and determination you couldn’t quite summon before are now fully available as you invoke a climax that will prepare the way for your awe-inspiring rebirth. Gaze into the future, dear Taurus, and scan for radiant beacons that will be your guides in the coming months. You have more help than you know, and now is the time to identify it and move toward it.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Our sun is an average star in a galaxy of 100 billion stars. In comparison to some of its flamboyant compatriots, it’s mediocre. More than 860 light-years away is a blue-white supergiant star called Rigel, which is twice as hot as our sun and 40,000 times brighter. The red supergiant Antares, more than 600 light-years away, has 12 times more mass. Yet if those two show-offs had human attitudes, they might be jealous of our star, which is the source of energy for a planet teeming with 8.7 million forms of life. I propose we make the sun your role model for now, Gemini. It’s an excellent time to glory in your unique strengths and to exuberantly avoid comparing yourself to anyone else.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): The philosophical principle known as Occam’s razor asserts that when trying to understand a problem or enigma, we should favor the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions. While that’s often a useful approach, I don’t recommend it in the coming weeks. For you, nuances and subtleties will abound in every situation. Mere simplicity is unlikely to lead to a valid understanding. You will be wise to relish the complications and thrive on the paradoxes. Try to see at least three sides of every story. Further tips: 1. Mysteries may be truer than mere facts. 2. If you’re willing to honor your confusion, the full, rich story will eventually emerge.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “There are no unsacred places,” wrote Leo poet Wendell Berry. “There are only sacred places and desecrated places.” Poet Allen Ginsberg agreed. “Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!” he wrote. “Holy the solitudes of skyscrapers and pavements! Holy the cafeteria! Holy the mysterious rivers of tears under the streets! Holy the sea, holy the desert, holy the railroad.” With Berry’s and Ginsberg’s prompts as your inspiration, and in accordance with current astrological imperatives, I invite you to invigorate your relationship with sacredness. If nothing is sacred for you, do what it takes to find and commune with sacred things, places, animals, humans, and phenomena. If you are already a lover of sacred wonders, give them extra love and care. To expand your thinking and tenderize your mood, give your adoration to these related themes: consecration, sublimity, veneration, devotion, reverence, awe, and splendor.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My favorite Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, wrote the following: “In us, there is a river of feelings, in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for its existence. To observe it, we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears.” I bring this meditation to your attention, Virgo, because I hope you will do it daily during the next two weeks. Now is an excellent time to cultivate an intense awareness of your feelings to exult

Breszny

in their rich meanings, to value their spiritual power, to feel gratitude for educating and entertaining you.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How might your life come into clearer focus when you uncover secrets that inspire your initiative and ingenuity? What happens when resources that had been inaccessible become available for your enjoyment and use? How will you respond if neglected truths spring into view and point the way toward improvements in your job situation? I suspect you will soon be able to tell me stories about all this good stuff. PS: Don’t waste time feeling doubtful about whether the magic is real. Just welcome it and make it work for you!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s not the best time to tattoo a lover’s likeness on your abdomen. Maybe in May, but not now. On the other hand, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to see if your paramour might be willing to tattoo your name on their thigh. Similarly, this is a favorable period to investigate which of your allies would wake up at 5 a.m. to drive you to the airport, and which of your acquaintances and friends would stop others from spreading malicious gossip about you, and which authorities would reward you if you spoke up with constructive critiques.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Redwoods are the tallest trees in the world. They may grow as high as 350 feet. Their roots are shallow, though, reaching down just six to 12 feet before spreading out 60 to 100 feet horizontally. And yet the trees are sturdy, rarely susceptible to being toppled by high winds and floods. What’s their secret? Their root systems are interwoven with those of other nearby redwoods. Together, they form networks of allies, supporting each other and literally sharing nutrients. I endorse this model for you to emulate in your efforts to create additional stability and security in your life, Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What’s the best way to be fulfilled? Hard work and discipline? Are we most likely to flourish if we indulge only moderately in life’s sweet pleasures and mostly focus on the difficult tasks that build our skills and clout? Or is it more accurate to say that 90 percent of success is just showing up: being patient and persistent as we carry out the small day-to-day sacrifices and devotions that incrementally make us indispensable?

Mythologist Joseph Campbell described a third variation: to “follow our bliss.” We find out what activities give us the greatest joy and install those activities at the center of our lives. As a Capricorn, you are naturally skilled at the first two approaches. In the coming months, I encourage you to increase your proficiency at the third.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mackerels are unusual fish in that they must keep swimming nonstop. If they don’t, they die. Do they ever sleep? Scientists haven’t found any evidence that they do. I bring them up now because many of you Aquarians have resemblances to mackerels and I think it’s especially crucial that you not act like them in the coming weeks. I promise you that nothing bad will happen if you slow way down and indulge in prolonged periods of relaxing stillness. Just the opposite, in fact: Your mental and physical health will thrive as you give your internal batteries time and space to recharge.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): A financial advisor once told me I could adopt one of three approaches to running my business:

1. Ignore change; 2. always struggle with change, halfimmobilized by mixed feelings about whether to change or stay pat;

3. learn to love and thrive on change. The advisor said that if I chose either of the first two options, I would always be forced to change by circumstances beyond my control. The third approach is ultimately the only one that works. Now is an excellent time for you Pisceans to commit yourself fully to number three for both your business and your life

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of: PHILIP MIRA.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: EILEEN MIRA in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara. The Petition for Probate requests that: EILEEN MIRA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING ON THE PETITION WILL BE HELD IN THIS COURT AS FOLLOWS: 04/13/2023 AT 9:00

A.M., DEPT: 5. SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either

(1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

ATTENTION: The meeting will be held in person and via the Zoom platform. The public may also view the meeting on Goleta Channel 19 and/or online at www. cityofgoleta.org/meetings-agendas.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of an Ordinance to amend Title 17 (Zoning) of the Goleta Municipal Code (GMC) related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). The date, time, and location of the City Council public hearing are set forth below. The agenda for the hearing will also be posted on the City website (www.cityofgoleta. org).

HEARING DATE/TIME: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 5:30 P.M.

PLACE: Goleta City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta, CA, 93117 and Teleconference Meeting; this meeting will be held in person and via Zoom (with detailed instructions for participation included on the posted agenda).

PROJECT LOCATION: The amended regulations would apply citywide, including all areas of the City within the Coastal Zone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Due to changes in State law (Senate Bill 897 of 2022), the project includes a new set of citywide ADU and Junior ADU (JADU) standards that will fully comply with the changes in State law and make other minor revisions to the City’s previous ADU regulations. Changes to the City’s permanent ADU regulations include but are not limited to: heights and front setbacks; changes to the processing and denial of ADUs; JADU locations, configurations, and definition; income reporting requirements; process for addressing and septic systems; protections for California Register of Historic Resources sites; and design requirements. Many of the proposed revisions were included in Urgency Ordinance No. 22-16U, which was adopted by City Council on December 20, 2022. The new ADU regulations would replace the regulations in Urgency Ordinance No. 22-16U.

PREVIOUS HEARING: The City’s Planning Commission considered the ordinance at a recommendation hearing on February 27, 2023.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Section 65852.2 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by Section 65852.22. Therefore, the proposed Ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed Ordinance implements the State’s ADU law.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Interested persons are encouraged to provide public comments during the public hearing in person or virtually through the Zoom webinar, by following the instructions listed on the City Council meeting agenda. Written comments may be submitted prior to the hearing by e-mailing the City Clerk at CityClerkgroup@cityofgoleta.org.
